Are there floods at Tweed Heads?

Yes you are! Low lying areas of Tweed Heads South and Banora Point are definitely at risk from floods. Every year the Tweed area is affected by severe weather events which usually cause flooding in the local area. Over the years, significant floods have occured in 1954, 1974 and 2017.

Is Tweed Valley Way closed?

ROAD CLOSED: Tweed Valley Way between M1 Pacific Mwy and Malaleuca Station is currently closed due to flood water. Seek alternate routes.

How do you calculate flood volume?

To compute the volume you should use an hydrograph (flow vs time). After Q estimation with Rational, a very rough formula you could adapt to small and impervious basins is: V=Q*3Tc*0.5 (it is based on a triangular hydrograph with peak=Q and time = 3*Time of concentration).

How do you calculate flood depth?

Floodwater Depth Estimation Approach. Water depth along a cross section of a floodplain (Figure 1) can be easily estimated by extracting the maximum elevation of the water surface from a DEM and deducting the elevation of any location along the cross section, assuming negligible cross-valley water surface slope.

What happened in the Alberta flood 2013?

The flood of June 2013 was the largest flood in Calgary since 1932. Sadly, one Calgarian’s life was lost and there was as much as $6 billion in financial losses and property damage across southern Alberta.

What city has the most floods in Canada?

One of Canada’s most flood-prone areas is that of the Red River in Manitoba. Snowmelt waters from the United States flow north through a wide, flat plain (the bed of former glacial Lake Agassiz), and severe flooding can create havoc in many small communities as well as in the city of Winnipeg.
